Agenda 21

The whole point of Agenda 21 moorings is that people can live an alternative low impact life style. No one lives on this boat it is a shed, no really a shed, just storage, and as such is nothing to do with Agenda 21. I know the owner and he lives in a house. In fact many of the boats down here on the A21 moorings have little to do with low impact living and more to do with making a profit. A sort of low impact capitalism.Agenda 21 is an action plan of the United Nations (UN) related to sustainable development and was an outcome of the United Nations Conference on Environment and Development (UNCED) held in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, in 1992. It is a comprehensive blueprint of action to be taken globally, nationally and locally by organizations of the UN, governments, and major groups in every area in which humans directly affect the environment.

not to mention that a number of the boats impact on the local environment by the shed contents overspilling onto the tow path, including some items that even the council bin men would be loathed to take away.

But the point is you did it. Had you not you would never have known what it was like. There is no danger down there it just looks a bit scruffy, but it is part of the tapestry of the canals. By coming out or going in at Dukes you miss two very goog eateries. The Plough at Wolvercote and The Anchor at Aristotle Lane are both excellent.

Is the smelly one with all the cats on it part of the UNs 1992 action plan as well? No wonder boaters use Dukes cut, the whole area of towpath from wolvercote down to bridge 239 needs a good clear up, it gives a very bad impression on the approach to our beautiful city. Because boaters are avoiding it they miss out on good pubs and the pubs are missing out on much needed trade.

Many thanks to you for sharing all these wonderful threads.In addition, the ideal travel along with medical insurance strategy can often relieve those issues that come with traveling abroad.Some sort of medical emergency can soon become too expensive and that's absolute to quickly impose a financial stress on the family finances.Having in place the ideal travel insurance package deal prior to leaving is worth the time and effort.

1984

Go Set a Watchman

The first book by Harper Lee. Mocking Bird was the second. Not quite as exciting as I expected but nonetheless good

..To Kill a Mocking Bird

The great American novel of 1960. Good read.

Coming through the Rye

If you liked 'Catcher in the Rye: J D SALINGER you will love this story a continuation of the original. Written in the same style as "Catcher". It has a twist that will surprise you.

Cannery Row

This is probably one of the finest crafted books you will ever read. Steinbeck at the top of his game. Always there to dip in and out of when you need to see how proper joined up writing is done!

RED ONE

This man has been to hell and back ..... many times. He possesses courage many of us could never imagine. He daily walked the road to death and survived because he was the best. You wont be able to put it down.

Sweating The Metal

This book is a phenomenal story of unbridaled heroism. You will be amazed at the courage of these crews. This is a must read for anybody.
